Nice Job.
You didn't want to wait around for the one with the ball gag?
Well new in 1982 when issue 32 of White Dwarf was released. I particularly like the way they have incorporated the classic Citadel Miniatures logo into the art.
Answers on a postcard, featured in White Dwarf 70.
I think that's 40k, haha
Congrats to Doctor Spork and well done to everyone who entered, there is no competition with out you.
I look forward to seeing all the entries next year.
I've had a look through the site, but may have missed something. Everything else seems to be plastic or resin (shudder). That said, I may have missed something.
Who remembers the original Land Raider Featured in the pages of the Rogue Trader Rule book?
This beast went onto inspire the iconic kit that GW went onto produce.
A slightly obscure show that I really enjoyed was Johnny Vegas' Ideal.
Yeah, that's Super Hans
I have no problem with the new models, sure some of it isn't my kind of thing but that has always been the case.
For me one of the big draws of 40k was the empire in decline narrative. Ancient technology being kept alive by techno-priests, the fact that most of the technology is irreplaceable, the emperor who created these super humans is a corpse so this is what we have. It isn't going to get better. Primaris marines sort of shit all over that.
I won't be buying any, but fair play to folks who do. Hobbies are about what you enjoy, not what other folks will.
A sad day indeed, I still don't understand why they didn't just do a redesign instead of the whole Primaris thing.
The miniatures for the Horus Heresy are great, so updating old kits with new ones could have worked really well.
Lovley work. Does Zeke make all his cronies get haircuts to match his?
So I thought it would be cool to share where we all get our podcast fix.
I'm always looking for more stuff for my ears to listen to whilst my hands are busy. So thought I would see what you all enjoyed.
My current favourite is the 'The Bedroom Battlefields Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast' , I know not the most catchy title, but it's nice and relaxed and doesn't take itself too seriously. Plus their latest episode has an interview Gav Thorpe, so that is well worth a listen.
Let us know your picks.
The one on the right needs a goblin green base.
I know exactly what you mean, I still have the big catalogues from the start of the 90s and am very guilty of staring at them for too long.
And then foolishly looking at the price of the miniatures on eBay! Oh my
The pages at the back of the Citadel Journal used to contain 'Dok Butcha's Klinik' where they used to suggest examples of the kinds of conversions you could make from the citadel miniature range.
Congratulations, you have found yourself on the corner of lemmy where we share our fondness for little lead men (and women, and orcs, and elves, and… ...well you get the idea).
So share your stuff and let folks know how great theirs are.
1 Month Update
So here we are, 2 months ago I was happy lurking around on… …somewhere else that we won’t mention, and now I’m moderating this dusty corner of the fediverse and thoroughly enjoying it.
A big THANK YOU to everyone who has posted, commented, upvoted and even downvoted, without your interaction this would just be me screaming in to the void.
It has been great to see people enjoying this community. As I have browsed lemmy I have seen countless niche communities that are have two or three posts from weeks ago or just one person posting with no other interaction, so seeing this community (a niche within a niche) thriving has been beautiful to watch.
Here are some of my favourite posts from the first month
@davetansley@lemmy.world gave us one of the first posts on the community with some pics of his old copy of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Rulebook, some properly oldhammer content. https://lemmy.world/post/77037
@seiryth@lemmy.world showed off his wonderful Genestealer Patriarch, a great model from Rogue Trader. https://lemmy.world/post/378419
@metaanon@lemmy.world posted some great old Space Ork Raiders with a super clean paint scheme. https://lemmy.world/post/643152
@Phantomything@lemmy.world shared their amazing Rouge Trader force, including some of the amazing and sadly discontinued sculpts from Satyr Art Studios (I am very jealous). https://lemmy.world/post/1283249
And finally my favourite post came from @jantin@lemmy.world with the kind of question that can be debated for hours, what is oldhammer and what isn’t? Of course @setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world had a great answer that I suggest you check out, or even weigh in with your own opinion. https://lemmy.world/post/1031971
If anyone has any posts they enjoyed why not share them below.
Thanks again to you all (including the lurkers, we all know you’re there). u/fearofthedark
Thanks, that seems to have worked for me as well.
Always happy to see Captain Tycho. Metal or Finecast?
